CIRCULAR FLOW: The continuous movement of production, income, and resources between producers and consumers. This flow moves through product markets as the gross domestic product of our economy and is then the revenue received by the business sector in payment for this production. This stream of revenue then flows through resource markets as payments by businesses for the resources employed in production. The payments received by resource owners, however, is nothing more than the income of the household sector. The resource owners of the household sector use this income to purchase goods and services through the product markets, coming full circle to where we began.

GDP can be measured in two different ways.- Demand-side: In a market transaction, the buyer pays a price for a good or a service based on the value of the good. This indicates that the value of GDP can be measured from expenditures.
- Supply-side: For seller's, the revenue received from selling a good is used to pay resources--the cost of production. This indicates that the value of GDP can be measured by the resource cost of production.
- These two sides--expenditures and resources--give us two ways of measuring GDP.
- Each can be used to check the other.

CONSUMPTION LINE A graphical depiction of the relation between household sector consumption and income that forms one of the key building blocks for Keynesian economics. A consumption line is characterized by vertical intercept, which indicates autonomous consumption, and slope, which is the marginal propensity to consume and indicates induced consumption. The aggregate expenditures line used in Keynesian economics is derived by adding or stacking investment, government purchases, and net exports to the consumption line. Saving is indicated as the difference between the consumption line and the 45-degree guide line.
